2021 Songtext
von Merrym'n

Is this what everybody wants?
What this place needs?
Another wrecking ball?
How ′bout a lick of paint?
A little love?
An imagination?
The proverbial testicles?

When all the shops are closing down
In the chip-board fronted high-street town

Will it be ok in 2021?
When all that's left in the tin are the crumbs?
When all is said and done
And the final brick turns to dust
Will it be enough?


Take my hand
Across the railway bridge
To a forgotten land
Where it′s all for one
And one for all
Where we believe that
Something grand is yet to come

The cafe closed
Cos you used the chain
The theatre closed
Cos you weren't entertained
The pot bank closed
Cos we were pushed around
The playground closed
Cos it was burned to the ground
The pubs are closed
Cos of the supermarket
The restaurant closed
Cos of the drive through zombies
The book shop closed
Cos you shopped online
The songwriter stopped


Will it be ok in 2021?
When all that's left in the tin are the crumbs?
When all is said and done
And the final brick turns to dust
Will it be enough?
